15 years old, not new!

Saw a picie in one oif the boat mags years ago of a very similar machine pulling Barry Sheene behind it, think it was in Oz, so hardly qualifies as a new boat?
 
Re: Silvers - nah

They may look a bit cool, if you like that sort of thing, but I understand that they do not have handed gearboxes so they do not have contra-rotating props.
Therefore, they are pigs to berth one way.
Surely there must be some element of usefulness to get a cool rating, otherwise people will drool over all sorts of piles of engineering rubbish with a nice "skin".

well its too true. it looks sweet and, being into offshore fishing etc, it'd make me look like a pro (if it was being built yet and if i happened to have a few hundred thousand lying around) haha
 
Re: And nowa non-cool motorboat

Seriously worried about Riva

Have you seen that new brown thing ? Rivarama
and forget the choice of colour

non-cool for me, unlike all the other Rivas
 
Re: Hideous

Yes, isn't the new Rivarama hideous? Actually, most Rivas are pretty hideous except for the old woody ones and the retro-styled Riverama. IMHO, natch.

rivarama.jpg



for those that haven't seen it yet. Don't think the pictures do it justice actually. All that decking is real teak, but looks like brown grp in photo.
 
Re: Purely IMHO

don't think it is anywhere near as good as the aquarama

have a looksee at the photo in MBY this edition, it more lateral

I think it's got a funny hunched-up look, of course may be better when in the water but methinks the semi-retro Cris-craft (same mag) looks better.

Still, if we all wanted the same thing, we'd all get killed in the rush.........
